Viber ! we need to raid their developer HQ. lol. in all seriousness though, I really think I have done my best to try to "capture" these events where the screen would turn on. Viber is probably delaying something. So NoLED turns on thinking it's got the screen real estate for itself, then Viber does something after NoLED to destroy it. Although, I can't explain why delay by 5 secs don't work for you. hmmm..

I don't use Viber, but here is something you can try: disable WL completely for now, and install No Lock. Disable the lock screen completely and see if you get the viber notification. I'm thinking it could be WL that's doing something as well. I know it has an option to make an exception for some android packages so it won't over-take them when the screen turns off or something along these lines.

if I'm reading this right, it seems that the last 3 hours you had your screen turned on?

you'll need to minimize the time the screen stays on with NoLED: Make sure you dismiss NoLED by pressing the back/home key or set a timeout to automate that for ya.
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
MM have you had any thoughts about fleshing out the scheduling portion of NoLED anymore?

First off I love that you can give it on/off times(I currently have it come on when I wake up and go to sleep when I'm done for the day)

I'm wondering if there'd be any interest in adding full fledged scheduling and options. For me during work hours I want to the notification only to be on my screen for 1 min(as the phone is usually near my IT desk).

In the evening while its on I'd like to phone to have notifications on its screen a bit longer.

And then off course late at night turn NoLED off till the next morning when the cycle repeats.

Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Raymond,

I've had a good look at the SMS code today. You said some of the received texts disappear for no reason and that you have absolutely no 3rd party sms app. Do you have any other app that might be filtering or doing anything with incoming SMS messages? Do you have Contact's photos option checked under Icons?

I want get down to this and figure it out. I doubt it's noled causing it because i'm not deleting any messages explicitly: I'm barely running a lookup for the contact's photo and incoming phone number :rolleyes:

I never really got interested in implementing that because I do know that you can already do this sort of finer grain scheduling with a Tasker/Locale.

Did you give the integrated tasker plugin a try? maybe you have other reasons for not wanting to do it via tasker. let me know :)
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
I haven't played with Tasker much, I actually use llama because it requires less brain power to create the tasks.

I suppose I'll have to take a look at tasker again though since you are interfaced with it.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Llama doesn't seem to support the plugin structure of Locale/Tasker.

If you have any kind of problems with Tasker, let me know. I do use it for other tasks so I guess I have some experience with it.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

For me this was never any sort of big problem, and I never said NoLed was the cause. I was just stating that this behaviour was due to low end phones with slow data capabilities and slow processing power. As a matter of fact the main person I experienced this with now has a Blackberry, a significant improvement over the inexpensive, dumb phone he had before. Still, his longer texts are broken into two. I really think some people have a severe limit to the amount that they can put into a single text depending on what phone/carrier they have, so it gets broken up into more than one. Sometimes, the second part doesn't come through, why, I can't be sure. A time out or drop in signal? What I am sure of is that it's not a problem with NoLed. Could be wrong, but don't think so. I do use the 'Contact Picture' feature, but don't see how that could matter.:)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
thanks for your insight. I guess I can put this to bed then. :)
[Android Apps and Games] DarienA:
Switched over to using Locale, the plugin structure is very, very nice. Was able to reproduce all of my llama settings very easily with Locale. Was able to configure NoLED and a few other apps as well through Locale.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Remeniz:
I've just realised that NoLED flashes the soft buttons on and off together with the icons on the display...

So i've set the colour of the icons to black.

The soft keys flash on and off as a reminder now, just the way I want it.

:D
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
lol, is that using blink? i'm curious.
[Android Apps and Games] Remeniz:
Yea. Seriously. Your the man! The soft keys blink every 5 seconds and you can set the interval.

So I change the icons to black and just have the soft keys flash to alert me to a reminder.

All you need to do is have the option to just have the soft key reminder and nothing on the screen. This saves having to set the icons to black.

:D
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
it seems like you've just got yourself a poorman's BLN implementation.:cool: lol

great stuff.
[Android Apps and Games] 0wn3d:
Hi!

Im having problems with Volume keys in NoLED, even when the volume box doesnt appear on the screen, I can hear the sound of the different vol levels. Of course I have set to Disable Volume keys, but it doesnt work

Im sure it is some kind of bug, because I tried to uninstall the application, install again and then restore with TB and it worked! For some minutes :D... now it is over again :(

And another strange thing, I cant handle to disable the haptic feedback of Return key on a SGS2! The other key, Menu, doesnt vibrate nor realize any action, but this Return button, always vibrates!

Overall, the app is awesome :D
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
what keys do you have enabled for dismissal ? did you disable the back key?

and yea, what rom/device are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] Prouden:
works good for me
[Android Apps and Games] Wombatek:
Hello,

Do you support blinking display on Samsung Galaxy Y? Notify works but display no turns on itself. I must it handy :/
[Android Apps and Games] :
Is there a way to make the clock display use the system font? I change the font sometimes and they would look great for the time.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
blink doesn't work on samsung galaxy y? i don't really understand what you're saying. does the screen not turn on at all?

that should be possible. i'll see what i can do. i'll probably shove another option into that mess that i call the miscellaneous submenu.
[Android Apps and Games] ivoricardo:
Does it consume much battery? I am going to give it a shot! Thank you guys
[Android Apps and Games] ASKnASK:
Guys an issue..

I use GoSMS with NoLED and the Delay SMS Notification keeps turning on by itself again and again, regardless of what option I choose :s

I want it off because NoLED used to work fine on my Galaxy S without this setting. I'm using the Galaxy S2 now.
[Android Apps and Games] vampire949:
amazing :D i like it
[Android Apps and Games] ASKnASK:
Can someone answer?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
get 5.1.1b from the OP. it should take care of it.
[Android Apps and Games] ASKnASK:
You're awesome :) Thanks for the instant-fix.

Love this app.

I want to ask something. Is it possible to add some fancy notification ways? Like a scan line moving across, or like the heart beat pulse animation? Sure it would consume more battery but at least there will be an option.

You could make such an app a paid. I'm sure people would love it.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
i don't currently have any plans for that kinda fancy stuff :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

Lol, my head is already spinning and my eyes are crossing! I ignore most the settings or my head will explode. That's why I don't use any of those third party apps like GoSMS that need special settings. Hey, gotta know your limits.:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Guatiao:
Thanks for the newest version, I was hoping for a GoLocker fix, but... it works great for all of us non-LED device users!

Greatly appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Any particular problem with Go Locker? it worked for me when i was testing it.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Grinny:
Hi Sorry for the late reply.

The missing texts are still happening. Im using the standard SMS software.

I didnt actually have contact photo's selected either. but on the plus side actually having the contact photos selected at least shows in the notification so that you know who to ask to resend the text.

My network provider is O2 in the uk, not entirely sure how to determine what type of network it is.

The only other thing i could say is that i'm using a downloaded theme for the icons.

If you need any more info or can be of assistance then please let me know.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Holmes108:
Is K-9 mail the only mail app that NoLED can distinguish different email accounts? ie: different color icon for gmail, hotmail, etc...
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

You can specifically monitor Email, Gmail, etc... by using the 'Monitored apps' setting, then unticking the email icon in the general settings. I use this and the icon from the app drawer for Gmail displays instead of the generic icon. Looks really nice and impresses many.:)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yes. All other email apps will have to go through Monitored Apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Holmes108:
Thanks. K-9 is great, and I've used it forever... just felt like mixing it up maybe as the interface in k-9 is a little bland. Don't think I can give up this feature though, as I use my phone for work emails too.
[Android Apps and Games] ASKnASK:
Which one is the most unique theme for NoLED? :)

Something that's totally different.
[Android Apps and Games] maxpd:
Hi,

I wiped my phone, installed noled with titanium backup.

Since this time no led seems to use the proximity sensor also if i deacitivate it. If something lies on the sensor and a message arrives, the display shows the message symbol for 8 seconds (as defined in the settings) and then the whole display lights up for 3 seconds. Then it turns completely dark.

How can i solve this problem? I backuped the settings. Then i deleted NoLED. Reinstalled it and used the internal restore function. Same problem.

Greetings

maxpd
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
go to battery saving features > notification timeout > and select "no timeout"
[Android Apps and Games] maxpd:
Unfortunately this is selected :-( So, no change.

If i deactivate the proximity sensor, then it stays. Thats the normal function.

If i activate the sensor to turn screen off during the time my phone is in my pocket, It discards the NoLED notification completely.

If i activate the sensor to discard the NoLED notification completely. The sensor doesn't work at all.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
strange. what rom/device are you using?

try one more thing, uninstall and reinstall. only this time don't select "restore data". that data file could be the culprit.
[Android Apps and Games] maxpd:
Mhh, this worked. But I wanted to avoid this way :-)

How is it about images of contacts for SMS of Thirt Party Apps.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
the photos will be displayed if you have sms checked under toggle notifications. they will not work if you have the 3rd party app checked under monitored apps. basically NoLED will need to process that sms message manually.
[Android Apps and Games] diveganesh:
Love this app, thank you so much.

I have a quick query with gmail notification. Let's say the I receive an email, NO LED pops up the icon on my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (not rooted). If I access this new email on another device, let's say my desktop, the phone seems to wake up to the lock screen and stays this way till it times out. Assuming that this is draining some battery, wondering if there is a way to prevent this "waking up".

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
NoLED figures out about these read emails and dismisses itself. It does not attempt to turn the screen off so it lets the Android defaults take care of that for you. This should still consume less battery than if you'd have NoLED display a notification on the screen continuously. If you still prefer NoLED not to automatically dismiss these gmail notifications, then I recommend unchecking your email accounts from under toggle notifications > emails and then check Gmail under Monitored Apps.
[Android Apps and Games] diveganesh:
Thanks for the reply. I like that the Gmail notifications are dismissed if I've read them on another device, that's real nice. I'd like to rephrase my question with this sequence of events:

1. Screen off

2. New Gmail, NoLED mail icon comes up

3. Read Gmail on other device

4. NoLED recognises this and turns off mail icon (dismisses itself as you put it)

5. Screen turns on

6. Screen turns off after default timeout

Now, at Step 5, is there a way to ensue that the screen dos not come on since it was not on at Step 1? In normal usage, while working at my computer for instance during the day, I see my phone screen switch on every now and then (because of what I've described above) and hence my question.

Yes, I understand that I could turn off NoLED while I'm at my desktop using the timing feature (I use do it overnight), but then I'd need to turn it on when I step away for a meeting etc. which doesn't really work.

Hope this clarifies my question. Thanks again and FWIW I've donated to you, there's no reason why this should be free.
[Android Apps and Games] gollyzila:
Starting at Step 2 your screen was on. When NoLED is dismissed it shows the lockscreen. Because of the contrasting brightness of NoLED and your lock screen it seems to you that the screen turns on.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I understand. Thing is, there isn't a reliable way to "switch screen off" using the standard android APIs. The methods I found were a workaround and hackish (read: most likely won't work on all devices), so I chose to stay away from implementing it.
[Android Apps and Games] diveganesh:
Thanks for correcting me, that makes sense.

Oh well. it's refreshing to be able to converse with a developer who has a large user community. Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] Millionas:
Just a tip; use the proximity sensor, and when you are at your workstation, let the phone face down. Then NOled is off and when you need the NOled face the phone up :-)
[Android Apps and Games] lowspeed:
BTW you should totally make a donation version. I would chip in. Great work.

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Doesn't the proximity sensor use more battery than a few amoled's pixels?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
just wanted to let you know that you can donate from within the app with a few clicks (it'll route you through the android market). Just click on Donate in the main menu.

The proximity sensor uses a lot less power than your screen. I might be wrong on this, but from my own experience, the number 1 contributor to battery drain on your phone is usually the screen. This is closely followed by the radio/modem when you're in low reception areas. The other peripherals are relatively minor in comparison to these two.
[Android Apps and Games] diveganesh:
I had the double click screen to dismiss NoLED enabled...after un-checking this I find that the phone seems to be holding a charge for longer. i said seems....
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
What phone do you use ? It would make sense if it's the galaxy s as unchecking that option will allow the touchscreen driver to be shut down while noled is active.
[Android Apps and Games] lowspeed:
Apparently the proximity sensor draws Mean current consumption: 50–75 μA max.

I would assume it's typical between different manufacturers...

Go SMS recomended configuration

I am looking to try Go SMS in place of the stock SMS.

I have read through the thread to see what has been discussed in the past regarding Go SMS, but I am confused.

Is there a simple summary of how it is recommended that NoLed and Go SMS should be configured to play nicely together?

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

I'm just getting around to understanding something you said a while back. When I get an sms/mms I get both the generic icon and the picture as I have 'view contact picture' ticked somewhere. If possible I'd like to get just the picture. So, uncheck sms/mms in 'Toggle Notifications'? If it's not possible that's ok.:)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Nothing special. Just install GoSMS and launch NoLED settings once so that it can detect GoSMS and change some settings accordingly (this happens automatically). Everything should work fine. Just make sure GoSMS is not suppressing other SMS apps when you hit the setup wizard.

You get the NoLED generic sms icon? that's strange. Maybe you received that SMS in two parts (long sms message) and NoLED detected the phone number of the first one (hence the photo) and the second was anonymous (at least to NoLED's perspective) so it displayed the generic icon.

The only way you can get a duplicate notification in NoLED is if you have something checked in Monitored Apps that also triggers through the regular toggle menu. (e.g. GoSMS checked in Monitored Apps and SMS in the Toggle menu. Another example, Gmail in Monitored Apps and your emails checked in the Toggle menu). Otherwise, you should only receive one icon/dot.

[GSII SR] Dissmissal/Screen Power off, Custom Colors

Just got this app off of the market, and I was wondering if there is a way to add app-specific colors for monitored apps, as opposed to the catch-all "all colors" color setting? (I'd like to have say, light blue for Onavo, grey for Steam, and orange for AndChat)
[Android Apps and Games] zyp339025518:
Nevery used before ,anyway thanks for sharing!:D
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
That's not possible. Monitored Apps, if you choose to have them represented by a dot, will all sum to one single dot and color.

I would recommend using the icons if you want to distinguish the types of missed events for these monitored apps.
[Android Apps and Games] grb:
I used to use NoLED with my Sammy GS1, but went to a Nexus 1 and didn't need it due to the trackball.

I'm now on an Amaze 4g and have started using it again.

I'd like this option as well while at work, any chance of seeing it in the future? Thanks, great app.
[Android Apps and Games] gemini8026:
I absolutely love this app. BUT

Ive experienced a lot of hang ups / dead phone with the app.

Ive ran it on various roms, including Cyanogen Mod 7 and Cyanogen Mod 9 ICS build.

I run a pretty lean installation. Aside from Facebook, I keep everything fairly stock. Never had freezing issues until I started using NOLED.

Just curious if anyone else has a similar experience. Im not 100% sure it IS the app itself, but ive experienced freezing on various kernels and ROMS.

Any ideas?! Im on a Galaxy S2
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'll see to it. I think the best approach would be to expose these functions via the Tasker plugin. Being able to toggle certain notification types on and off based on profiles would be awesome me thinks. I'll add it to my todo list and see what I'll decide to do with it eventually ;)

These roms are not official man. I do know that the ICS leaked builds (specially the later ones based on LPH) have a proximity sensor problem. That includes CM9 given that they're using the same kernel and blobs from the Sammy leak. So if you're using that option, you might want to check it off. Or you can try to wave your hands in front of the proximity sensor for a gazillion and one times until the screen suddenly "wakes up". I find myself having to do that once after each reboot. The proximity sensor works fine after that.

I'm sure these things will get ironed out once we get an official KIES ICS release. But I wouldn't call it a bug with NoLED at this point.
[Android Apps and Games] istalexnik:
Automatic translation (English):

Excellent m the application. But why then notifies any activity skype instead of just the inbox. If you are running skype and propodaet Internet, and then there, then again in the skype network and notifies noled. Make the noled not riagiroval this, just announced to the incoming message or a missed call.
[Android Apps and Games] diveganesh:
Multiple notifications

Hi, My question is best illustrated with a sequence of events:

1. new email, NoLED email notification

2. new SMS, NoLED SMS notification

3. read new email

4. turn off screen

5. when NoLED comes up next, it does not show the unread new SMS from 2 above

Is there a way to keep these "unread" notifications active? I'm on a Samsung Galaxy II Skyrocket.

Also, noticed that the Gmail message notification count on the icon is seemingly mostly random, doesn't quite reflect the unread count (for instance while I'm writing this, I have 2 unread emails but the NoLED count is 6).

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
You unfortunately can't get that with NoLED. That's where it doesn't exactly equal an LED. NoLED assumes that once you've seen the notification and dismissed it, it shouldn't come back again. This is done for more than one reason, some of which: a) u really wanna keep your screen off most of the time for battery preservation. b) the APIs in Android don't give enough access to determine when a pending event is "marked as read". So NoLED assumes that if you go back to your home screen (which it can detect), then the notification is dismissed.

About the random Gmail count. I don't have that issue myself. Can you try to dismiss the notifications with the back key and see if that problem gets fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] robo-d:
Very useful! thank you very much
[Android Apps and Games] ASKnASK:
I'm sorry if this has been answered before but..

Is there any way to disable the touch keys on the Galaxy S2 when a notification is being displayed? I keep the phone in my jeans pocket and every time the back button gets touched, the button backlight turns on for a while.
[Android Apps and Games] sentix_001:
The permanent time display I use to make sure phone is still on.

This works well if you let the phone sleep automatically after say 30 seconds, but doenst turn on if the phone is locked manually.

Can you do something about this please?
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

It does for me on my Samsung Vibrant. If the permanent time display is already engaged and you manually lock, then it doesn't come back on and saves your battery.:)
[Android Apps and Games] sentix_001:
I did some further testing and can confirm it comes when you lock it for the first time it does work.....but if you then unlock say to check a message and lock again won't come back

This is the best application I've used for notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
you can either turn off the backlights of the buttons completely via the android display settings (that's what I have on my device) or use the proximity sensor option. otherwise there isn't a non-root way to disable these keys and their lights permanently via my app.

it works fine for me. the permanent time trigger waits for the screen to turn off; it doesn't care if it happened manually or via an automatic time out. from my experience, sometimes these screen off APIs don't trigger correctly for some reason. in that case, I just reboot and then things work properly again.

Happy to see an update come through in the Market. Guess this means the updates you posted in the OP are out of testing phase.:D
